Couple of scattered flurries thus far today. At least my snowpack is hanging in there...

HWO for Lanco for freezing drizzle. WWA issued for neighboring counties east and south.

Great stuff. Was also an avid Weather World watcher. Paul & Fred, Elliot Abrams, Joe Sobel, Joe Bastardi (what the heck happened?), Lee Grenci, etc. Seemed like Elliot was everywhere back in those days as Accuweather must have had exclusive contracts with local radio. I even won the Snowflake contest a few times and the grand prize in the trivia contest once (one year subscription to Weather Bell). Hardly ever used it, lol.

Of course long range is sketchy at best but with nothing in the next week, is our window Days 8-14?

Yeah, we pretty much dodged it down this way, didn't we? Radar returns have dried up so unless we get some freezing drizzle or mist (temp is now 31.7), should be OK. Fine with me.

32.7. None of the local WU reporting sites under 32 yet. 1.69" storm total. Looks like one more batch SW of York still to go here. Instead, lets go with an average storm temp of 28 for a Kuchera 20". Oh what could have been.

53 to 38 in the last 2 hours. Still a lot of precip upstream. Gonna be close down this way.

42.8 at the moment which the high of the day. 0.75" liquid. Alas, at 10:1, that's 7.5" of snow I did not receive.

I don't think CTP sucks per se, but when I look at the output of LWX, PHI and BGM, they all are superior in terms of discussion, explanations and timeliness. Now who is most accurate? Beats me and of course that's where the rubber hits the road for Joe Public. And as Atomic stated earlier, it's only us weenies would be having this type of discussion.

Well there’s a WWA both north and south but zippo here. I know it won’t change what actually will happen but you’d giving folks a heads up on upcoming hazardous weather would be prudent. Isn’t that one of the NWS primary functions? Maybe we can start a petition down this way to secede from CTP and join Mount Holly. At least they have their shit together. (Aside - can you imagine going door to door with such a petition? I’d venture 99% of folks would have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, lol.) Edit: WWA issued! All is well in the world once again.

Aye, 48 in February feels a heck of a lot warmer than 48 in October.

Sure was nice to get outside today. Hit some golf balls in the backyard for the first time in awhile. Comical to watch the ball bounce 10' in the air after landing on the rock hard frozen ground. Lots 'o winter remaining but getting twitchy for spring.

And his "Weather Discussion" is a Facebook page so count me out.

Well, this is exciting...not.

My official observation so far would be “not much”. Maybe an inch but tough to tell with the wind. If we calculate Total Forum Storm Accumulation / Total Forum Storm Posts, I think this has to be one of the lowest ratios ever. As Mag said, still a ways to go so here’s hoping.

Dude, that's awesome! We had a selfie party with the 611 this past season. Holy shit, was that thing cool! Anyway, back to weather.

And now to go completely off topic, you used to be maytownpawx. Did you lose a bet or something? Sorry I'm new here and don't know the story.

itsrainingtime +1. Just scrolled the last 2 pages. Dumpster fire now in progress. This hobby can be brutal.

2 - 5" now from WGAL is quite the upgrade from this morning's coating to 1". Savona seems to be slacking. We need Matt to get back in there and right the ship.

Yea, that had to be the fastest WWA ever reported. I was literally on CTP's site checking out the LWX version when Cashtown posted. The county hadn't even changed color yet! But even 1-3" tonight combined with temps in the teens with winds gusting upper 30's tomorrow should make it interesting here. And it has never actually stopped snowing here so far although what has fallen has melted. Temp 31. Must be a sun angle thing .

Lifted from MA. This guy is pretty good.

Bottomed at 7.2 this morning second to the 5.5 recorded on 1/16 and 4th single digit low so far this year.
